S31 43. Eye for an Eye
“Actually, | have to stop following your orders because of my mother,” Ava stated.
Sophia was stunned. With wide eyes, she nced at Frank. The man smiled faintly.
“I have someone that can watch over Ava’s mother. He''s tough
enough to defeat all the hospital security officers. You can’t stop her life support machine, Sophia.”
“I''m not that cruel.”
Frank sneered. “But you intend to stop paying for her treatment. Isn''t that the same as threatening Mrs. Connor''s life?”
Suddenly, a servant came over to Sophia. Her eyes were wide and her breathing was short.
“Miss Hall!"
After the servant whispered, Sophia immediately got up from the chair. Her eyes widened too.
“What did you do to my people?” Sophia''s tone finally rose.
“Have you ever heard of eye for an eye?” Frank replied lightly. “You gave me stimnts even though in the end, Jeremy was the
one who got it. What''s wrong with me giving sedatives to your people?”
Sophia grimaced. She couldn''t imagine what chaos was happening around the truck. The guards must have copsed and
probably crushed each other.
“Miss Hall!” Another servant came. “You have to see this.”
The girl in uniform showed her phone. When Sophia looked at it, her
1/3
breath came out quickly.
Mnie''s face was back in the headlines. Thements started flooding in.
“What? This was all Sophia''s doing? She was the one who was obsessed with Frank Harper and locked Mnie in a rehab
center?”
“Can someone exin to me? Doesn''t Sophia already have a husband? Why is she chasing Frank Harper?”
“What an ungrateful woman. She already has Finnic, but still seeks happiness from other men. You cheap woman!”
Sophia''s voice rose uncontrobly. “You published that video?"
Frank shrugged. “I told you, eye for an eye. You''ve cornered Kara with your video. It''s my turn to retaliate. Now we''re even.”
Sophiaughed dryly. Her gaze was cold, fixed on Frank. “How dare you ruin my good name? Aren''t you afraid of my family?”
“It''s not me, but you who is ruining your family’s good name. I''m just trying to protect my family.”
Sophia''s head shook slowly. “You''ll regret it, Frank. You''ll regret it!”
Suddenly, Sophia grabbed the walkie-talkie at the servant''s waist. With eyes full of hatred, she ordered, “Gerald, bring Mrs.
Harris to me
Now!"
Sophia gripped the walkie-talkie so tightly, as if it was thest hope she had. However, after waiting a few seconds, she didn’t get
any
answer.
“Gerald?” Sophia gulped, nervous. “This is not the time to joke around. Quickly carry out my orders!”
“Gerald won''t answer, Miss. He''s asleep. Maybe he''ll wake up in half an hour.”

Sophia stared wide-eyed at Ava. “You drugged him?”
As soon as Ava nodded, Sophia started to panic. Her eyes vibrated rapidly. “If Gerald is drugged, then Mrs. Harris-"
“Here.”
Sophia turned towards the voice. Seeing Mnie walking beside
Jeremy like a normal person, her feet moved backwards. “Mrs. Harris?

“Yes, it''s me. Are you surprised to see me sane?” Mnie stopped in front of Sophia. Without warning, her hand flew to Sophia''s
cheek.
“That''s for my son. You''ve tried to ruin his life.”
Unexpectedly, another pnded on Sophia''s left cheek. “And that''s for me. You''ve lured me into your evil ns.”
Sophia sighed in disbelief. Her cheeks were red, hot with anger. She now realized that all this time, Mnie had been pretending
to be crazy in front of her. That meant, Ava hadn''t given her an injection for a long time.
“You all tricked me? You all made me fall on purpose?” A single te
rolled out of her eye.
“We reap what we sow, Sophia.” Frank moved next to Mnie the pulled her mother back. “You have been deceived by your
own lies.
“But your mother is guilty too! She hates Kara. She wants her fortune, and wishes you two would separate.”
“But not now. I''m already aware. Moreover, Kara takes great care of me every time shees to visit. Even when | was still
under the influence of drugs, she patiently took care of me. I''m ashamed that I considered her an enemy. You''re the one | should
have opposed a long time ago.”

Whileughing sadly, Sophia clutched her head. Then, smoothing her hair, she looked up.
“What now? Do you want to sue me? Or lock me up in a rehab center like Isab?”
Frank shook his head faintly. “Kara asked me to be wiser. She remembered your kindness on the cruise ship, although I''m not
sure if your concern was genuine. She asked me to give you a chance.”
Sophia snorted. “So it''s true? Kara is
really good at dece(vipg She@aits''

Sophia gasped when she heard that. She turned her head. A secondter, her heart jumped as if it had been struck by lightning.
Aman smiled wryly. “Surprised to see me?”
“Finnic?” Sophia''s voice got caught in her own throat. “How is possible? You''re working with Frank?"
Finnic shrugged his shoulders vaguely. “This is the only way to sa
our marriage.”
Taking a deep breath, he took Sophia''s hand. She wanted to dodge,
but it was toote.
“I know | was wrong. | shouldn''t have made you Kara''s recement. | shouldn''t have used you to make her regret i
Sophia snorted in disgust. She tried to withdraw her hand. However, Finnic was reluctant to let go.

“But do you know the real reason | chose you?” Finnic deepened his gaze, hoping that Sophia would see his sincerity.
“That''s because | feel you are superior to Kara. You can make her embarrassed by your background and achievements. You can
make her realize that her position has been reced by a woman who is much more worthy of being next to me.”
“Nonsense! | know you don''t really love me. You think | don’t know what''s on your mind? That night, when your eyes met Kara''s
again, | saw regret. And when you saw Frank side by side with her, | knew you were jealous.”
“But it''s only temporary,” Finnic emphasized. “The next morning, | realized that it was just about pride. | was annoyed because
Kara got a better man than me, because | thought she wasn''t worthy.”
While Frank let out a faint snort, Finnic held Sophia''s hand tighter.
“Right at that moment, | made up my mind that | would be the best man for you. | really love you, Sophia. The vows | said were
sincere. Sorry if | made you doubt, but | really don’t want to lose you.”
Sophia looked at Finnic from the upper corner of her eyes. Her jaw throbbed in displeasure.
“You are not a big liar, Fin. If you really loved me, you shouldn''t ha put me in anyone''s shadow. You would have provided a new
ce f me, not the throne that was long abandoned by your ex-lover.”
